The 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten forbade the worship of other gods, a radical departure from the centuries of Egyptian religious practice. Akhenaton's religious reforms (later regarded heretical and reversed under his successor Pharaoh Tutankhamun) have been described by some scholars as monotheistic, though others consider them to be henotheistic. [6] Excerpts of the hymn-poem to Aten [ edit ] EXCLUSIVE: Bridgertonseason two star Charithra Chandran has landed the lead in Olivia Hetreed drama Song of the Sun God, Deadline can reveal.Sitting on my beach chair reading your book over the weekend, my wife wasn’t quite sure what to make of the tears running down my face as she walked out of the surf. I was truly moved by your story and your beautiful writing. It was impactful in so many ways.

I really didn’t know a thing about the history of Sri Lanka and the Tamils. From an historical perspective, it is a treasured learning and one I wish I knew a long time ago.
